First off, I apologize for being a boarder. Though I mostly boards with skiers, so I find myself feeling at home in this ski forum! I bought my board more than 15 years ago and have loved it the whole time, but in the past few years I have barely gotten to ride. My family and I are planning to go boarding in a few weeks, and as I looked over my gear, I realized I badly need new bindings. I currently have some of the early flow bindings, that I have really liked. Before that I had the Burton Custom bindings and liked those a lot, but they had a very aggressive forward lean that I liked while carving, but lift lines and rides were borderline painful. I'm old and have never really enjoyed jumping or tricks, just carving and enjoying launching off of small drops in the slope. When I was more active in the sport I would say I was one of the better carvers on the slope on an average day, but not the best, and I am pretty aggressive on each run.
At this point I have no knowledge of the current products out there, and am hoping some of you may have some ideas good bindings to look for in the used market, or cheaper new bindings that are actually good. Any help would be appreciated, and will help inspire me to not sit in the middle of slopes, clog up the area around the lift, and generally act like a punk to skiers!
